75th Anniversary Plaques - Location
Director Anderson apprised the group of EPURA's ongoing projects,
i.e. the library demolition and post office lot riverwalk bid
processes, and, the ongoing Stanley Historic District street
negotiations.
Director Anderson presented a sketch of the proposed Coffee Bar
Island location for the 75th Anniversary plaques, stating it is
EPURA's belief that installation of the plaques at this location
will serve as a point of interest to further strengthen the
downtown area.
It is anticipated the series of 10+ 2' x 2' bronze reliefs
depicting approximately 38 different historic events in Estes Park
and sculpted by Cunningham Gallery will be installed on July 4,
1992. The plaques will depict historic events in the area, such as
Lake Estes construction, early lodges, Joel Estes' arrival, the
first Indian settlers, Estes Park Bank building, Bond Park,
library, MacGregor Ranch, Enos Mills, post office, and the school,
to name a few. Donars will be recognized on the plaques.
A raised angled top planter wall will display the plaques, with
larger concrete columns including sandstone caps at the ends of the
walls. Three different groupings of plaques are envisioned with
street trees placed around the perimeter, bench placement, and
"brick on sand" detail along the walkway. Trustee Garrett, 75th
Anniversary Chairman, noted the second plaque has been completed in
clay and 9 of the 10 plaques have been sold with the possibility of
two more being sponsored. All present expressed support for the
plaques' proposed location.
The above information will be presented at the March Public Works
Committee meeting at which time, questions of snow removal and fire
hydrant relocation will be addressed.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
